Cryo-EM structures of human RNA polymerase I
2021-06-01
Abstract excerpt
RNA polymerase I (Pol I) specifically synthesizes ribosomal RNA. Pol I upregulation is linked to cancer, while mutations in the Pol I machinery lead to developmental disorders. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of elongating human Pol I at 2.7 Å resolution. In the exit tunnel, we observe a double-stranded RNA helix that may support Pol I processivity. Our structure confirms that human Pol I consists of 13 subu...
